Step 1

To a small bowl add your shredded jackfruit, and mix in the salt, pepper, sofrito & garlic.

Step 2

Chop (or rip) the nori sheet in tiny pieces and mix with the jackfruit.

Step 3

Squeeze the lemon juice over the jackfruit mixture.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and let the flavors mend in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Prepare the batter: to a bigger bowl sift the flour and add the water. Whisk together until you get a thin consistency. Note: this batter needs to be runny, thinner than pancake mix. Also taste the mixture to see if salt is needed; bacalaitos tend to be really salty if you want to aim for that, add more salt.

Step 6

Heat up the oil in a frying pan; test readiness by dropping a tiny drop of batter into the oil, if it bubbles up, the oil is ready.

Step 7

While the oil is heating, add to the batter the jackfruit and mix well.

Step 8

Carefully add spoonfuls of the mixture, to the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan, you don’t want them to stick together; this will allow you to flip the bacalaitos comfortably. They should be golden on both sides.

Step 9

When ready, remove the bacalaitos from the oil and drain excess with a paper towel.

Step 10

Enjoy immediately!
